M.E.E.T. on Common Ground™ - Speaking Up for Respect in the Workplace
The desire to be treated with respect is something we all have in common, especially in the workplace. Without civility and productivity fueled by a personal commitment to mutual respect, no one is able to contribute their best work.
M.E.E.T. on Common Ground™: Speaking Up for Respect in the Workplace helps counteract the shame, blame and stereotyping that create toxic environments and undermine productivity. Using the M.E.E.T. approach, employees learn to recognize, respond to and resolve situations that stem from differences. Employees take away a new appreciation for their personal responsibility to create a respectful workplace.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
M.E.E.T. on Common Ground™: Speaking Up for Respect in the Workplace is designed to help you recognize, respond to and resolve difficult interactions that can stem from individual and cultural differences.
Create a workplace where people want to come—and stay. This objective is the foundation for many organizational initiatives. It seems simple enough, but in reality it can be difficult to achieve. The reason is that it requires more than the issuance of a policy, program, set of regulations or laws. It takes people—people with a common understanding, common skills and common goals that are willing and able to meet on common ground in order to create an environment that works for everyone!
M.E.E.T. on Common Ground™ will provide you with the tools and techniques necessary to meet on common ground. It provides the understanding, skills and goals necessary to create and maintain a respectful workplace. When people believe that who they are and what they do is respected, conflict, tension, complaints, grievances, lawsuits and turnover go down—while retention, morale and productivity go up. The end result is a workplace where people want to come—and stay.
After completing this program, participants will be able to:
- Explain the benefit of mutual respect in the workplace
- Explain the role of respect in creating productive relationships in the workplace
